Glyph: Ali Smith

King Street

‘Glyph’ unravels a story hidden in the first novel, which is set in a near future rife with surveillance, where people can be labelled ‘unverifiable’. It follows siblings Briar and Rose as they attempt to survive in a world that strives to crush curiosity and meaning. The two books belong together but can also be read independently.

‘Few writers today can make a more compelling claim to singularity of innovation and sustained brilliance’
— Times Literary Supplement

‘One of the most intelligent, inventive, downright impressive writers working anywhere in the world today’
— The Scotsman

Ali will be in conversation with Chris Gribble.
